Lucy & Desi's Long Lost Grandchild?

0902ball.jpg

They continue to charm worldwide audiences in "I Love Lucy" reruns -- now a woman is claiming Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz hid a love child that would have ruined their public image!

According to the NY Post, Cassandria Lucianna Carlson, 38, believes she's the granddaughter of the comedy duo -- and that her mother was put up for adoption before "I Love Lucy" aired -- reportedly to prevent ruining Ball's plans for stardom.

While no DNA test has been conducted to examine Carlson's lineage claims, she insists she has evidence to support them -- including a memory of being visited by Lucille herself!

Desi Jr. and Lucie Arnaz, the couple's two children, did not respond to the Post's request for comment.


NEXT: Clooney and Pitt: Burning Up the Set!

 

The girl in question is a LUNATIC! The retakes for “Her Husband’s Affairs” were shot in May 1947. That would mean Lucille would have been EIGHT months pregnant during the retakes. This whack-job hasn’t even done her research! She is on minute number 14 of her 15 minutes…

*** there is an entire article, this is just the headline and blurb, you have to pay for the archived article where I was, and I didn’t so it’s not all included.

I found an article dated January 11, 1947 about Lucy and Desi wanting to have a baby.

I don’t think this woman is the granddaughter, because everyone knew in 1947 that they wanted a child and were trying to get pregnant, announcing in January that they want kids.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 11 (AP). — Desi Arnaz and his beautiful, wise-cracking, flame-tressed wife, Lucille Ball, have disclosed that they are “hoping” for a baby.

Johnna Paradis i cannot trust and i put a lot of trust into her she made out like she was a good person, now reading what i’m reading i am so dissapointed this is the same woman i put my trust in. I’m sorry but if you have just put your name to a story you don’t carry on like a child on a site like this. Julia shared a lot of personal conversations with you i am so very dissapointed you would bad mouth her on a blog like this after everything you’s both had gone through together and to air her laundry like that where is the respect for someone’s personal life? Where is your self respect?. The thing that upset’s me the most is that this could of been me if i stayed involved with Johnna. It’s sad it’s turned into a selfish public fight about Julia. Everybody has apast but for god sake let the girl try an move on from that. As far as i’m concerned people only seem to speak ill of people if they are jealous a good person would walk away and move on and get over it.

Very simply, Lucille Ball starred in Dremgirl in late June. The baby was born in early June. And it ran in 2 weeks stints. Various different actresses played in it, not just Lucille Ball. That’s how I know.

Anything else?

Hey Julia! Just FYI on your grandmom’s professional activities in 1947…she was filming LURED into January (completed on the 10th, to be precise); She began filming HER HUSBAND’S AFFAIRS on February 17, completed March 25, 1947. Retakes were shot in early May. She began touring with the play DREAM GIRL in June and continued that through to January 1948. Hope that helps

I have heard the rumor of a baby before Lucille left Jamestown. Supposedly with the dude Johnny DeVita.

So, that was not in 1947. The baby rumor has gone on and on. Rumored baby or abortion.

Even during the the time that she was stricken with arthritis. Rumor mill flew once again that during this arthritis event, there was a supposed baby or the claims of a botched abortion, which I seriously doubt, But who cares.

These two events happened way before 1947 and way before Lucy met Desi.

Everyone loves Lucy and Desi and would not go around saying things about them.

Why can’t Cassandria do her thing in private instead of where everyone can see or hear her? IF she really loved Lucille and Desi, i’m sure that she would conduct herself privately.

Lucy was in the movies before she was “Mrs Desi Arnez”. Now, I don’t know if Lucy and Desi were married when she may have given a baby away, but Lucy had her acting, dancing, romancing and so on, to look forward too. In the earlier days, and if she hid a pregnancy, she could have laid low for a few months, out of the country, and given birth. Some women can keep something like this very secret forever. Look at Loretta Young and Clark Gable, no one knew of their love child till she was a middle age woman. So, a lost grandchild could be believable.

ANYBODY that has ever read or heard anything about Lucille and Desi know for a fact 100% how much they wanted children. EVERYONE that has seen Lucille in pictures of Dream GIrl know that there is no way that she could hide a pregnancy. Y’all saw how big she was with Lucie and Desi Jr. GOOD GRIEF.
Seems like some of you need to actually read about Lucille and know what kind of person she was, before you make claims. Read, read, and do research on her or talk to the people who knew her. Like I said, the majority of true LUcy fans know that she could not have had a child during this time. Can you not leave Lucille’s name out of this? and leave her alone? Can you imagine how much this would hurt her by some of the things that these crazy allegations are saying? Please give the WHOLE Arnaz familly some peace. Leave them alone.

THe name bashing of Julia seems kinda child like and it reaks of jealousy. People who are bashing her over this, reminds me of junior high or people who do not have anything better to do.

Please leave the good name of Lucille and Desi ALONE!!!!

Here are the straight and hard facts:

100% disabled…. I have pic of you carrying a beer ceg.

The AC worked until Wookie knocked it out of the window, and who else was caring enough to give you one?

Hand me downs, did you want a credit card from Lord & Taylor?

As far as Jamaica, I worked for months along with another Advocate from Washington and that’s what you call “small” advice?? If it weren’t for me and the other advocate she would most likely still be in there. No one can put a price on a young girls life and the time I spent calming and councelling your wife.

And in all actuality… excited to be friends with her? I took a HUGE hit on being associated with her, one that still haunts me today. When I threw her a birthday bash last year with Heather and I brought Julia to my neighbors, you would have thought I brought Mary Magdalene to the picnic. And to think I defended her EVERY step of the way. She wasn’t worthy of a book, maybe a couple of chapters.

What did you do for her on her birthday? How about Christmas? Yeah I thought you’d be GOOD NIGHT AMERICA… you brought this upon yourself with the blogging and attacking my viability. You brought a lawsuit against yourselves and now you want out. GO!!

You should’ve left a long time ago. And BTW….. tell Michael that I would like the $500 he owes my girls in back child support while you have drinks and dinner with my AA attending ex-boyfriend. And leave the other family members out of it…. we just tragically lost cousin Jenny to cancer. Leave the family alone. And leave my name out of anything else you pursue.

I’m sorry for not introducing myself fully but I’m an addictions counselor from California. Before anymore people fly off the handle, I personally have never met any of you. I was under the impression that a blog was a place you could post freely without being threatened at all. I saw typical agressive addiction-like behavior and decided to comment. Isn’t America about freedom of speech?

And btw not everyone named jess is someone you know personally. Lol
sorry if my OPEN board post offended

Hi Carmel,
I have been doing a search for illegitimate children of the rich and famous, since my client is the illegitimate child of Desi Arnaz Jr, Paternity was done in 1991 and proved he was the father.

My heart goes out to you and others who are looking to get on with their lives and know who their fathers are. That is your right and I wish you the best. God Bless.

I am also looking for others who beleive or know that they are children of celebrities or stars.

I don’t work because if you remember I am 100% disabled and its not Section 8 my dear it’s RAP (Rental Assistance Program) as usual please get you facts straight! This also isn’t an “I Love Julie Blog” it’s more like a Lets Bash Julie Blog. Who called Cassandria fat? Not us we haven’t said a thing bad about Cassandria. We wish Cassanddria the best of luck in her quest to find her family lineage and in finding an answer to her and her sons medical conditions. We also know that you have done a wonderful job raising your two beautiful daughters and son. The help you did give us is greatly appriciated(1, small AC that barely worked, some hand me down clothes, and some advice pertaining to getting her daughter out of Jamacia in which Her stepmother Amy Arnaz covered the expenses incurred). We also know you aren’t writing Julia’s book, it would have never happened anyway because you are to busy trying to run your multitude of other schemes. Good luck with those as well. Everyone has their times of difficulties. Some have more than others. Let me remind you how excited you were to be involved with Julie? Not only as friend but is a person giving you a new direction of thought. Everything that she confided in you with is now being used(operitive word) against her. I think it is also known as “Back Stabbing”. Also no I don’t drive any longer due to mistakes I made. and if it is any of your buisness yes “Howards” is paid That was my buisness not Julies! Oh feel free to call whomever you think would be interested in our lifestyle we have absolutely nothing to hide! Now if you would please stop harrassing my wife. Thank you very much. Tim Cook

Julia, you will have to defend yourself in the courts, not on this blog. You will then have to swear under oath and not hide under the “I Love Julie Blog”.

Yes, you have a man,(ask your husband who Sylvio is?), a man that barely works and last I checked you both are on the list for Section 8. Are you working? Or just working this blog. You applied for food stamps recently. Yes you received a good chunk of money in February, but where is it now? (and maybe I should call Howard from the store)Have you paid him back? You are barred from doing focus groups, you have scammed local grocery stores, you hit a persons car and denied it, you have been told by your own landlord that if the cops get called one more time, you are “OUT”. Your neighbors cannot stand you and called you white “Hillbilly Trash”. Your house has more illegal activity going on and I will place a call to the local cops to check on that,(they are aware of your address), and oh by the way, your husband has NO driver’s license and shouldn’t be driving. And maybe I’ll make sure the Milford cops place a DUI checkpoint at your corner for safe measure since I heard you like to imbibe and get behind the wheel. So I’ll make sure that all gets checked. You bringing up my having to get provisions for my children over the years is classless. I have been on my own since I have been 18 and I am raising 3 children by MYSELF! I have managed to do this without child support, but needed help elsewhere. That is what you’re picking on?!?!
Anyone who knows me knows I have many friends who I have asked NOT to sink down to your friends level and come and defend me. I will defend myself. You can call who you want and send who you want. You are known in Stamford by the local authorities and they do not take you seriously. The truth will come out and I will not be embarrassed of my life.

I know you have been making phone calls to my Aunt, Bev and others friends. ALL have said they DO NOT want to talk to you. What you have done is invasive and will all get brought up in court. Which might I add, my ex is involved with right now and facing time. I think I’ll call some people myself. BTW - Chris is away with his job and is not even here. Make your calls…. have your dinner…. and do what you will. The truth is, your a hurting, hurtful individual who is mighty ungrateful for what has been done for you.

Just for the record, I am NOT, NOT writing YOUR book, but I am wrtiing a book. Thanks for all your kind words to me. Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your life.

Hmmmm, I don’t understand why you feel the need to serve Julia I don’t see where you were implicated in any of the posts on this board. Your name isn’t used at all. If anyone has a reason to file it would be Julia for she is the one that is having her character attacked not you. Where is your name mentioned?
